Peter Bissett was born in Kirkcaldy Fife on the 25th July 1921. He was the eldest son of Thomas and Elspeth Bissett and brother to Elsie Sheila and Ian. In 1928 Peter and his family moved to Northallerton where his father set up and organised the Miles Sykes lino factory on Romanby Road. Peter attended the Primary School the Church School and finally the Grammar School. On leaving school in 1937 he began training as a civil engineer. In 1939 the lino factory in Northallerton closed and the Bissett family moved back to Kirkcaldy in Scotland.
Peter volunteered for the RAF in 1940 and after basic training he was accepted for pilot training and was sent to the Empire Flying Training School in Bulawayo Rhodesia. After gaining his wings he was posted to No 178 Liberator Squadron in the Middle East and then to Italy. The Liberator was an American four enginged bomber used extensively by the RAF.
